The Effects of Social Relationships, Writing Media, and Microgenetic Development on First-Grade Students' Written Narratives.
Jones, Ithel; Pellegrini, A. D.
American Educational Research Journal, v33 n3 p691-718 Fall 1996
Studied effects of social relationships, writing media, and microgenetic development on written narratives with 20 first graders in a within-subjects design. Results show that narratives composed with a word processor are lexically denser and more cohesive than those written in pencil. The facilitative effects of computer-supported writing are discussed.
